What’s Up Provo! Happy Great American Pot Pie Day! 🥧

Fun fact about pie: In Europe in the 17th & 18th century, pie crust was “basically inedible but instead served as a tub to seal in the food [tupperware] and keep it fresher for longer." Source

Makes us appreciate our soft, buttery, American pie crust that much more.

Monday

🏥 Orem Community Hospital Harvest Good Health Day
We didn’t know it was Orem Community Hospital Harvest Good Health Day, but we’re happy to celebrate it! It helps that there are pony carousels, live music, booths, and free rides on the Orem Express!
331 N 400 W St, Orem | 4:30pm - 7pm | More info

⚽ BYU Women’s Soccer vs Utah
Not much needs to be said about this game. The Cougars are coming off a loss to TCU, the Utes recently lost to Texas Tech. Both want to bounce back and of course both want to beat their main rival. (Glad it’s a home game.) Go cougars!
BYU’s South Field | 7pm | Tickets | Watch

🐠 Family Movie Night: Finding Dory
“When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming…” This Free Showing is at the library in the Story Room. (The movie is 1hr 37m long and is rated PG.) Blankets are welcome!
Provo Library Story Room | 7pm | More info

Tuesday

🥳 Pink Party
This is the second annual Pink Party put on by the Shops at Riverwoods. Wear a costume and join the costume contest. (The winner of this contest will be wearing pink, we’re calling it now.) Get your photo taken. Get your face painted. Get your photo taken again. The event starts at 5pm but make sure you stay for the dance party! Dance party starts @ 7pm.
Riverwoods | 5pm - 8pm | More info

Thursday

🐑🚜 Curiosity Farms Opening
Curiosity Farms is opening—again! Curiosity Farms has existed at Thanksgiving Point for some time, but recently they shut it down and have made a lot of improvements and additions. So it is opening up again (for members only) on Thursday. It will stay members only for Friday and Saturday this week, and then next Monday it will open to the general public.
Thanksgiving Point | More info

Friday

🛠️ Provo Home Show
“Whether you’re looking to renovate, decorate, or build, attending the home expo provides the resources and connections you need to bring your vision to life.” We needed this last summer! But renovations seem to never end—so we’re circling this one. This free event is going to be at the convention center on Friday and Saturday.
Utah Valley Convention Center | Friday from 12pm - 8pm, Saturday from 10am-6pm | More info

Saturday

🥨🌭 Oktoberfest 2024 + Harvest Market
We are combining two events here but it makes sense. Both are at Sundance around the same time and both are going to be great. The Foundry Grill & The Owl Bar are going to be offering a special Oktoberfest menu (this weekend and next only). Also, Sundance’s Harvest Market will be going on at the same time. Free attendance to the Harvest Market (no pets though).
Sundance | Saturday & Sunday 10am - 4pm | Oktoberfest | Harvest Market

🏹 Native Nations Festival
A quick lesson in Ute: Hello = Máykh, Thank You = Towaoc (pronounced TOW-ay-ock). Keep practicing, there are only 5-ish more days until the Native Nations Festival!
University Mall | 3pm - 6pm | More info

🚜 Big Dig 2024
This event benefits the American Cancer Society and pediatric cancer research. At the event, adults and children (including many cancer patients and survivors) will get the chance to operate large construction equipment. Awesome! We can’t believe this is legal! Things must be different in Lehi.
2301 West Ashton Blvd in Lehi | 12pm - 3pm | More info

⚠️ Reminders & Notices

🗑️ Fall Cleanup
Here’s the most recent info from Provo’s website: Dumpsters will be available Mon-Fri 8am - 6pm & Sat 8am - 3pm. Here are the dates and locations:

Sep 23 - Oct 5 @ 2027 W 820 N
Oct 7 - Oct 19 @ 2620 N Foothill Dr
Oct 21 - Oct 26 @ 100 N Seven Peaks Blvd
Oct 28 - Nov 2 @ 1150 S 1350 W

Also, from beginning to end you can dump compost materials (branches, leaves, etc.) at the Provo City Compost Yard at 1625 S Industrial PKWY for free. The advantage is that, at the compost yard, you can dump everything onto the ground rather than throwing it up into a dumpster. Depending on what you have it can be much faster, easier, and safer to go this route. Tons of flies though. Keep your windows rolled up.
